"Daisy, you're nuts. She probably has some death trap set out for you and is going to cut off your head or something," Gabby called out from behind me, grabbing my hand. "Whatever it is, it's going to be drama. Just tell her to kiss your ass and let's get to class.”
"I promise I won't hurt your precious Daisy," Piper sneered, glancing back at Gabby and throwing open the door and disappearing into the hallway.
"If I don't come back in ten minutes, call the police," I told Gabby, grabbing my bag before leaving the room. Piper was waiting for me outside the door as soon as I stepped out into the empty hallway. Without saying anything else, she turned left and sped down the hallway like she was on fire. She stopped and turned down another hallway I had never been down before, opening up a closed door and going in. Guessing that was my cue, I followed her into the room hesitantly.
The room was small and it looked like an old office that wasn't being used anymore. She sauntered over to the corner, plopping down on the couch leaning against the wall. I crossed my arms over my chest and waited for her to start talking. "Spit it out, Piper," I ordered.
"Okay," she nodded crossing her legs out in front of her. "I wanted to kinda apologize for how shitty I have been treating you since you moved here," she said, forcing the words out. I wasn't quite sure if a "kinda apology" meant she was actually sorry or if she was just telling me that to get on my good side for whatever she was about to say. I was still shocked, however, that she could even say those words from her mouth. It might have been a lame apology, but I was pretty certain she didn't hand out apologies like she did her vagina to my boyfriend.
She leaned back against the couch, twisting her blonde locks around her finger. "I've just been so stressed out lately and my emotions have been all over the place," she said, now playing with her fake fingernails. She folded her legs up until she was sitting Indian style and stared across the room at me. Her eyes grew wider and I saw the wetness of tears start to trickle down one side of her face.
I pinched myself to make sure this was real and I wasn’t in the Twilight zone.
"Anyways," she said, wiping away a lone tear. "My mom noticed the changes as well. She made me go to the doctor the other day and I found out something bad; like really bad." Her skinny arms rose up, clasping together and folding across her stomach. I waited for her to elaborate on what she found out but she just kept staring at me. I swear, the girl was growing more certifiable by the day.
The loud snap of my fingers in her face brought her attention back to the real word and me. "Get out with it Piper or I'm walking out this door and I'm done." I wasn't going to get a detention because she was having some heartbreak crisis over the guy who wanted to be with me.
"I'm pregnant!" She burst out the words scaring the shit out of me. "And it's Keegan's baby."
I froze. What did she just say? No, it couldn't mean what it had just sounded like. She was lying, she had to be lying. "Wow Piper, really? Is that the best you could come up with?" I spat out angrily, fed up with her games. "You need to get over Keegan and move on with your life. It's really starting to grow pathetic. You're a pretty girl, you can find someone else."
My eyes narrowed at her and I whipped around to get out of there and away from her. I grasped the doorknob, swiftly turning it and dashed out of the room back into the hallway, charging towards the locker room. How dare she make up some bullshit lie just to get Keegan back and away from me?
A tight hand wrapped around my arm stopping me before I got the chance to turn the corner. "Please," she begged and I turned around to face a tear faced Piper. "I have been trying to call him but he won't answer my calls." I opened my mouth to tell her to go to hell but her words rambled over mine. "I know it's his. I am absolutely positive. He is the only person I have been with."
I twisted hard, pulling away from her. "Piper, it's been months since you two have been together so unless they have delayed pregnancies now, you would have been sporting a large pregnant belly by now," I snapped, signaling to her stomach.
"The last time we had sex was at Lane's Christmas party, which was only a month ago," she snapped back. My heart completely dropped out of my body onto the floor beneath me and nausea started to burn into the pit of my stomach. He lied to me and my stupid self believed him. God, I was just as naive as she was. I was the same as all of those other girls who thought he actually wanted to be with them.
I shook my head, keeping the tears that were trying to break through the barrier at bay. "I'll give him your message," I barked, shoving through her and walking away. If she was pregnant with Keegan's baby, it was not my problem. Keegan was not going to be my problem any longer.
GABBY: Where are you?
I ignored that one going to the next one.
GABBY: Did Piper kill you? I asked her in class and she said no but we all know that bitch lies.
My finger tapped the reply button and started typing.
ME: No still alive. I didn't feel well so I went to the nurse. Don’t tell Keegan and I'll fill you in later.
